It was produced by ex-Dokken bassist Jeff Pilson.

The band feature Vivian Campbell on guitars, Vinny Appice on drums along with vocalist Andrew Freeman. Sadly bassist Jimmy Bain passed away on 23rd January 2016 during the Hysteria On The High Seas cruise.

'Devil In Me', 'Martyr' and 'Starmaker' were the only new songs played together by the original Last In Line band line-up before Jimmy's untimely death at
a pre-cruise party on 20th January 2016.

Last In Line - Heavy Crown Press Release/Biography Quotes

"When we started this project a few years ago, the initial idea was to reunite the original Dio band to play the songs we wrote and recorded with Ronnie in the early 1980’s. Joined by Andrew Freeman on vocals, we played a handful of shows in southern California, the UK, and Japan. It was a limited ambition, but it brought us great joy in reconnecting to this great music, to each other, and to our collective history."

"Vivian Campbell will also be putting time aside to go on tour with Last In Line when not touring with Def Leppard. Expect 2016 tour dates and festival appearances to be announced in the coming weeks."

"In February of 2016, Last In Line’s debut album, Heavy Crown will be released, with the debut track, Devil In Me leading the charge. The band will gear up for a highly anticipated tour in both the U.S. and Europe in support of the record. The "live" set will include new songs alongside their early classic Dio-era works."
